Lady Clair - vocalist for The Impellers

About Me

Starting life as Ed Meme & The Forms, a name change to something far easier to pronounce
came about when offered a deal by prolific UK label Freestyle Records in 2008.
The Impellers are bringing a heavy, heavy authentic funk sound both live and in the studio.
Here's just some of the reaction to recent recordings:
"Hard as Nails" - Snowboy
"Another cracking piece of modern funk" - Craig Charles, BBC 6Music
"Superb - easily the best new funk tracks i've heard since Baby Charles
- these guys have the potential to be even better!" - Ian Wright (Deep Funk DJ, collector, album compiler & legend)
“...There are so many bands who inevitably go back to the root but are not always successful
in providing the organic fruit, I feel you guys are an exception...” ‘Da Buzzboy’ Fitzroy – Solar FM
"Where is my fire drencher - that's hot!!!" Dusty / Jazz & Milk Rec.


Featuring dirty hammond, searing soul vocals, heavy horns and a rhythm section that drives like Satan's own Maserati,
this is a live experience you can't afford to miss ...
